Will my cat be okay? I took him to see a vet today and was givin amoxidrop because he has a fever of 105.1 and his lungs are congested. What does it mean for a cat being congested? He was not luke hinself for 2 days now and i was worried. The vet wasnt very talkative with me at all.

Congested lungs means there is a fluid build up in them. I'm sorry the vet wasn't very talkative to you. I hope Moon does feel better soon, but if he isn't showing any signs of improvement in the next 24-48 hours, take him back into the vet. Best of luck.
